Shattered Kingdoms

It's really dumb that someone with enough MR can nullify half or all of a weapons damage outright. Against ANY character with MR, people are better off wielding a toothpick from the bar than the life draining spheres of Subram-Dulzar or a coiled whip of negative energy, and that's absolutely [REMOVED]. All this does is discourage people from bothering with higher-level weaponry, and encourage people to roll MR barbs or go MR with their EQ, and going MR already bears enough rewards (Hello 100% magic immunity) in and of itself.

MR should not affect weapon damage at all. Either that, or MR should only work like AP does in resisting physical damage: Only on the affected slot. Howcome all the total MR someone is wearing or has trained prevents magical attacks on them as WELL as allowing them to resist all magical spells? If anything, the only MR that should affect physical strikes against someone is the MR that is on the piece of armor they're struck on.

You can negate fully damage from magic weapons.

That is possible. That can also be done with zero MR, however, so I would say that paints a rather incomplete picture. I would need to understand this mechanic more precisely to start a thread on it or cast a vote in a poll about it.

Fine, I can see that nobody wants another comical debate thread. I therefore offer for your consideration the actual text from the 04/06/2012 code update:



Ergo, the OP clearly does not read code updates or know what he is talking about when he claims things like:



That is incorrect, and shows a basic lack of understanding of the mechanic in question, yet he asks us to vote in his poll.

Having personally tested this, any character wearing MR enchants will be "unaffected" by a magical weapon.

This includes, but is not limited to the deep-elf rogue wearing MR used in the test.

Last I checked, rogues don't get MR trains.

Hey Styles, when you have no experience with what you're talking about, and then from that total inexperience try to correct others who do have experience with what they're talking about, then you look like you wear your pants on your head.
